High-intensity alchemical operations come at a price, and they consume a lot of physical strength and energy.

8pm.

Xia Zuo put three bottles of powder on the tray, and when he walked out of the advanced alchemy room with the tray, his face turned slightly pale, and his fingers and arms could not stop trembling.

Kulov glanced at the tray with his peripheral vision, his brows jumped, and he coughed lightly to pretend to be calm:

"Ahem, yes, I have refined 3 more bottles of perfect quality poison refining powder. Go back and rest.

"At 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, come directly here for class. If I'm not here, you can train by yourself in the advanced alchemy room."

"Yes, Professor. See you tomorrow." Xia Zuo walked towards the door in a vain manner.

Why is the instructor acting a little weird tonight...

He shook his groggy head. He was so tired that he just wanted to have a good sleep and had no extra energy to explore the reason for the other party's abnormality.

The footsteps in the poison alchemy area gradually faded away.

After the sound of the stone door opening and closing was heard in the distance, Kulov picked up a glass bottle and sat on a chair.

"9 parts of powder...all of them are perfect quality, 1 part more than I expected."

"No, no, no.."

Kulov looked at the clock on the wall and said to himself:

"After arriving at my place at 8 o'clock in the morning, it took me an hour to complete the promotion test. It also took some time to carry the toxin bottles, and it took me another hour to demonstrate the refining process.

"If you calculate it this way, Xia Zuo's refining time today will be less than 6 hours.

"6 hours... At his stage, I could only refine it 10 times at most, but by then I was almost becoming a skilled alchemist.

"Could it be that"

Kurov frowned and walked into the advanced alchemy room and checked the toxin cabinet from beginning to end.

"Only 9 raw materials are missing!? He made alchemy 9 times and never made a mistake?!" A cry of surprise sounded in the room.

This was followed by another even louder cry: "And all of them are of perfect quality?!"

If Xia Zuo were still here, he would definitely touch the back of his head in embarrassment and say silly things like "It just feels good," "It's in good shape," "It's a little talented, but a little talented."

But no matter how he argued, Kulov, as a veteran, clearly understood what 100% success rate and perfect quality control meant.

"I have to find the head of the hospital quickly!"

Kulov hurriedly walked back to the basic alchemy room, made a few corrections on a page, and then left the place with a book box full of study records.

The bright moon and the vast sea of ​​stars hang high in the night sky. The bright moonlight shines on the noisy Starry Night City.

The majestic Starry Night Castle occupies the most prosperous area of ​​the city.

Fifteen turrets overlooking the city are scattered around the castle, guarding the tall tower in the center.

Kulov walked through the complex corridors.

Most spells are prohibited in the academy.

He could only walk through the corridors and up the steps like an ordinary person.

His destination was the study at the head of the courtyard, not the potion alchemy area.

When you reach the level of strength of the head of the college, you no longer need to do it yourself in class.

Except for the most basic courses such as alchemy and linguistics, which require her to personally go to the podium to guide the new students, all practical courses in functional pharmacy are taught by her elemental servants.

After the alchemical linguistics course was over, she did not have to leave the study.

"Tuk Tuk"

The knock on the door sounded in the empty corridor, and it was absorbed by the soft woolen velvet carpet under your feet before it spread far.

Kulov stood in front of the sandalwood door and waited for a few seconds. After hearing the movement inside, he opened the door and walked in.

"Head of the hospital, I have something going on here."

He quickly glanced at the corners and walls, the expensive ornaments on the walls, the elegant heavy bookshelves, and the luxurious silver candlesticks.

There are four skylights on the ceiling of the study room, and the stars and full moon become tranquil decorations.

Kulov passed through the beam of light cast by the moon from the skylight, gently rubbed the fingers of his right hand, and controlled the book box to fly towards the gorgeous figure behind the large desk.

Beatrice sat on the desk chair, looked at the other party's serious face, put down the pen in her hand, took the floating book box, took out a book and read it.

"Well, let me take a look... Xia Zuo's study record. This student with excellent memory got full marks in the final exam. What surprising thing did he do this time?"

Kulov sat down across from the desk, pondered for a few seconds and then said:

"Head of the Academy, I taught him the recipe for the refined poison powder today. In compliance with the laws of the Mage Temple, I taught him the most simplified version.

"As for these learning records, I brought them according to the regulations of the alchemy potential rating."

"oh?"

Beatrice suddenly became interested.

A faint smile appeared on her beautiful face, complementing her silky hair the color of the morning sun, eclipsing the bright candlelight in the room.

"Xia Zuo refined 9 pieces of refined powder today, all of which are of perfect quality." Kulov took out 9 glass bottles from his pocket and put them on the desk.

"Nine parts of perfect quality refined powder, that's top second-class alchemical potential."

Beatrice smiled brightly and said, "It seems that the Alchemy School has welcomed a good candidate in Poison Alchemy. Well done, Kulov, your report is very timely. I will hand over this box of study records tonight." Mage Temple.”

"Head of the Academy." Kulov's words were filled with excited trembling:

“His success rate is one hundred percent!

"Only 9 pieces of materials were used, and none of them were scrapped. I have confirmed it.

"Besides...his refining time is only 6 hours! It is two hours shorter than the rated time of the Mage Temple!"

After Beatrice heard what the other party said, she smiled brightly, crossed her bangs on her forehead with her left hand, and quickly calmed down. But holding the notepad in her right hand, her fingertips were trembling slightly, betraying the unconcealable joy in her heart.

"Kulov, you cannot place surveillance guards in the poison alchemy area at all times. You and Xia Zuo were the only ones on the scene at that time."

Beatrice patted the book box and said:

"I have watched you grow up and know what you are like, so I will accept what you say.

"The Mage Temple will not believe the study records you submitted so easily. You know, this is not a matter of trust.

"The Mage Temple unconditionally trusts any practicing mage, not to mention that you are a high-level mage in the field of poison alchemy. Xia Zuo will definitely delve deeper into this field in the future, and there is no need for you to make fun of his life.

"Everyone in the temple only believes in what they see with their own eyes."

She slowed down, paused for a moment, and said in a calm tone:

"The temple will send people to verify. When the time comes, there will not only be messengers from Lady Starry Night, but also observers from other schools. We must be fully prepared."

Kurov nodded slowly and returned to his usual calm appearance.

He turned his head and looked at the desk calendar in the corner of his desk, "That will be at least a year later. There is still plenty of time."

"Yes, there is plenty of time..." Beatrice's eyes were dazed for a moment, with inexplicable guilt in her eyes, and her voice gradually became lower:

"Kulof, if it hadn't been for the accident decades ago, you wouldn't be as old as you are now... This is a knot in my heart that I haven't been able to untie..."

"Head of the courtyard."

Kulov interrupted the other party, "It's not your fault. It was the mistake I made when I practiced meditation for the first time."

Beatrice shook her head, her silky hair flowing on her shoulders:

"There's no point arguing about right or wrong now. I have to prevent the tragedy from happening again."

Her expression became determined:

"I will convince Ms. Xingye to teach Xia Zuo that part of alchemy in advance and bear the consequences in my name. You and his life experiences are very similar, as are their temperaments and personalities. This can prove that he will not betray alchemy. school."

The atmosphere in the study was a bit depressing and heavy, but it didn't last long.

Beatrice leaned back, her plump upper body fit against the goose down backrest, her curves were graceful, and she smiled:

"Tell me about Xia Zuo, what are his subtle habits and characteristics. I have to weigh again whether this little guy who is still a few months away from adulthood can bear my expectations and attention."

"This" Kulov showed a mixture of embarrassment and hesitation.

"You won't be meditating all the time, right?" Beatrice raised her slender eyebrows, folded her arms in front of her chest, and said slightly harshly:

"When you were a mage's servant, you only knew how to read books and do exercises. After you got the meditation method, you only knew how to meditate. Now that you are a mentor, it's still the same... You really haven't changed at all."

Kulov lowered his head in response to the other party's scolding, just like a junior or student who had done something wrong.

In fact, the two are at least 150 years apart. Beatrice was once his mentor, and the teacher-student relationship lasted for decades.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Kulov's reaction at this time was a conditioned reflex.

"Ahem, Chief, you misunderstood."

He coughed lightly, sat up straight, spread his hands and said:

"Besides normal teaching, I really have nothing to teach him. He is much more self-disciplined than I was at that age.

"Go to class on time and finish class on time. After class, he will help me clean the alchemy room, organize the toxin bottles and the alchemy table. I can also summarize my alchemy experience and shortcomings, and correct my homework according to the template.

"You can definitely feel how I feel. Students like this are so worry-free."

It's hard to break this habit.

Especially Xia Zuo came to this world with the memories of his previous life. Even if he deliberately disguises himself, over time, his true colors will always be revealed as time goes by.

Beatrice seemed to be a little touched, and after twirling the fingers on her arm a few times, a letter flew from the bookcase.

“Miffy Morton wrote me a letter some time ago.

"After this little girl joined the circus, she traveled around Rosak Province and found a few uninhibited elements that suited her. She was very lucky."

Beatrice held the letter paper, stared at the words on the letter, and said with twinkling eyes:

"She mentioned one thing: other members of the circus praised her more than once for being as hardworking as Xia Zuo.

"Your student spent a lot of time at Audrey's circus before joining the academy. He never offered to go to the tavern for entertainment.

"Either practicing fire breathing in a tipi tent, or reading a book in a hotel. The environment can change people, but human nature will not be changed easily.

“Xia Zuo is naturally suited to live and grow in an environment with a strong academic atmosphere.

“Just like the secretly chosen apprentice of the Mage Temple.

"I think you know better than me what the living conditions are like in the southernmost village of Rosak Province. Such an environment will only bury his nature and talent."

Beatrice controlled the letter to fly back to the bookshelf, and let out a soft hum of satisfaction with a curved corner of her mouth:

"Hmm~ I have an idea. After more than 20 years, I plan to accept a student."

"Uh, Head of the Academy, are you kidding me? He hasn't finished learning the entry-level poison alchemy yet, so if he changes his instructor now, does it violate the laws of the temple?"

Kulov laughed awkwardly and then said:

"Moreover, I have already promised him. As long as he can understand the characteristics of elements on his own, I will teach him the entry-level meditation method after he becomes a skilled poison alchemist. Just like what you did back then."

"I can also teach entry-level meditation methods, can't I?" Beatrice looked at the other person's anxious look and chuckled:

"There's no need to be so troublesome. As I get older, standards, principles, and laws are no longer so important. Besides, I will find a suitable way."

She manipulated the study records in the book box. Dozens of notebooks and loose-leaf books were suspended in a circle above the desk, and her eyes were fixed on a page:

"You taught me the antidote for White Palate Poison? Haha, you were chanting the law, but you ended up teaching me the content of the proficiency level first."

Kulov covered his head and stuttered:

"I, I... When I was learning about White Palate Poison decades ago, I always wondered what its antidote formula would look like.

"You refused to tell me. I think Xia Zuo would have the same idea, and he would be as confused as I was at that time...

"So I just mentioned it, hoping that he would retreat.

"I never thought he figured out the original version of the antidote on his own and asked what the correct solvent was... Then I gave him ale and he learned it.

"Don't worry, except for the antidote for White Palate poison, I have not disclosed the antidote for other deadly poisons."

"Kulov, you and I both know that this is not a simple teaching error."

Beatrice deliberately kept a straight face and said seriously:

"The antidote formula is classified to the proficiency level. But it is not difficult. Even a trainee poison alchemist can make it.

"Because of your impulsiveness, you risked leaking the antidote formula.

“Although it’s very unlikely.

“But as the head of the school, I have the responsibility to supervise your teaching.

"When he becomes a skilled poison alchemist, I will teach him the antidote. Do you have any objections?"

"No, no. I completely agree with your move." Kulov waved his hand, his face full of helplessness.

"Very good~"

Beatrice smiled instantly and snapped her fingers.

The page recording the antidote for the white palate toxin burned, and turned into ashes in just two or three seconds. The black and gray ash drifted into the fireplace beside the wall.

"You are a student taught by me. I will not just watch you being criticized by the Mage Temple."

"You're welcome~giggle~" Beatrice smiled like a victorious fox.

Kulov rubbed his brows and said, "Headmaster, I'll go back first."

"Go ahead, go ahead." Beatrice waved her hand and continued to check Xia Zuo's study records.

"correct."

She called to Kurov who was about to open the door:

"Xia Zuo's memory and alchemy potential determine that he will not stay at the entry-level stage for too long. It may only take one to two years to master all the entry-level recipes.

"You can find a reason and give him the "Enhancement of Poison Effect" directly. You don't have to wait four months.

"Let him refine the poison and refine the powder by himself. This will help him understand the characteristics of the elements."

Kulov's lips wriggled, as if he wanted to say something related to the law again, and finally sighed, "Yes, Head of the Academy. I understand."

The door opened and closed again.

The study became quiet, and the sound of pages flying and sliding could be heard one after another.

In the boys' dormitory at this time.

Xia Zuo lay sprawled on the soft couch, snoring soundly. Even in his dreams, he was refining poison and powder, and had no idea what happened in the castle tower...
